Upon hearing this, the old butler’s expression changed drastically, while Jiang Qin opened his mouth in shock, uncontrollably glancing towards Jiang Heng.
Seeing the Young Master’s eyes, dark as if about to herald a storm, Jiang Qin’s heart was thrown into turmoil.
Holy shit!
What an explosive scandal this is!
What is the Young Madam talking about? She actually claid that the Young Master is not the Family Head’s biological son?
Jie Siyu, who overheard this news unexpectedly, was also terrified.
She couldn’t help but look at Jiang Heng.
If Bai Xuan hadn’t spoken, she might not have noticed. Once Bai Xuan did, Jie Siyu looked at Jiang Heng’s features again and felt he didn’t quite resemble Mr. Jiang Mantian.
Jiang Heng’s features were sharp and severe, constantly exuding an intimidating aura, hard to provoke. In contrast, Mr. Jiang Mantian’s appearance was broad, kind, and benevolent.
It’s said that Mr. Jiang Mantian’s wife is also an educated and cultured noble lady.
Their child shouldn’t possess Jiang Heng’s type of disposition.
Could it be that Bai Xuan was telling the truth, and Jiang Heng really wasn’t Jiang Mantian’s biological son?
Noticing the curious glances from everyone in the room directed at him, Jiang Heng shook his left hand, reddened from the scalding prescription, and suddenly grabbed Bai Xuan’s neck with that very hand.
He squinted his eyes, his gaze nacingly questioning Bai Xuan: "Bai Xuan, do you know the nonsense you’re spouting? Are you so tired of living that you wish to die early?"
Jiang Heng didn’t believe a word of Bai Xuan’s outrageous claims.
He knew perfectly well how Jiang Mantian treated him.
Among the noble family scions he knew, none reached the level of Jiang Mantian. He always practiced a balanced approach of reward and punishnt with his children. When a child made a mistake, he would sternly address it. When a child succeeded, he would offer positive praise and comndation.
No young heirs and heiresses of his age didn’t envy him.
In the distinguished noble families, few fathers could achieve what Jiang Mantian did, and to say Jiang Heng wasn’t truly his son was absurd and laughable to Jiang Heng.
Seeing Jiang Heng’s disbelief, Bai Xuan pushed harder, "If I’m lying, why don’t you ask your father? Or go to your mother’s family and see your elderly grandfather. Ask him why he’s never favored you."
Jiang Mantian had two children, Jiang Heng as the eldest son, and Jiang Xue as the younger daughter.
But their grandfather treated the two children completely differently. He cherished his granddaughter Jiang Xue, frequently sending people to bring her food and essentials.
Jiang Heng, however, throughout his life, besides a birthday gift dispatched by his grandfather every year, never received anything else.
And that sole birthday gift always felt strictly obligatory.
As a child, Jiang Heng once expressed his dissatisfaction to his father, wondering why his grandfather held different attitudes toward him and his sister.
Jiang Mantian explained that he was a boy, ant to be strong and upright, while his grandfather feared that spoiling from elders would make him develop a weak character.
Jiang Heng had respected his father since childhood. Hearing this explanation, no suspicion crossed his mind. Over the years, watching his grandfather’s favoritism towards his sister, his emotions transford from initial jealousy and anger to cold indifference.
But hearing Bai Xuan’s assertive tone, doubt crept back into Jiang Heng’s mind.
Could there truly be discrepancies about his identity?
"You claim you’re not lying, then how did you co across this information?" Jiang Heng mocked Bai Xuan: "Bai Xuan, is there even one truth in your mouth?"
How did Bai Xuan know?
Just two hours ago, Bai Xuan received an email sent by an anonymous stranger.
The email contained a well-preserved yet yellowed and slightly aged adoption docunt. It clearly recorded in black and white the complete process of Jiang Mantian adopting Jiang Heng.
Most importantly, that docunt bore the stamp of Xia Country’s Children’s Welfare Institute!
Bai Xuan was imnsely shocked upon receiving this docunt. In fact, she didn’t know if it was true, but she decided to take a gamble.
If false, she wouldn’t lose anything.
But what if it’s true?
She may be unhappy, but causing Jiang Heng’s life to turn upside down would be a victory.
Jiang Qin retorted disdainfully, "It’s easy to spread rumors, all it takes is a mouth." Whether the matter is true or false, Jiang Heng is still the acknowledged next heir of the family by Jiang Mantian, and he will always be the boss Jiang Qin swears allegiance to.
Jiang Qin firmly held Bai Xuan’s shoulder and told Jiang Heng, "Young Master, the Young Madam is like a dog in a corner, fabricating lies to deceive you. I reckon she’s just trying to create a rift between you and the Family Head."
